Awesome drone footage shows a surfer gliding over the back of a shark

A drone captured the moment a surfer glided over a bull shark.

Alex Vontevenar was riding the waves just off Ponce Inlet, Florida, USA, when he encountered the predator below him on Monday (27/09).

Drew Duncan, 62, was trying to capture a video of his son Cole who had just paddled out to join Alex when he noticed the bull shark approach.

He said: "The waves were small so I thought I’d check for sea life - boom!
